Title: Mordheim Pirate
Post by: vikotnik on 05 June 2007, 08:22:44 PM: Ever had a closer look at the plastic miniature sprues included in the Mordheim boxed set?

I had them lying around for ages and while browsing the net for a suitable miniature to be used as a 'boatman' player character, I remembered them. I had loads of fun trying out all the different poses and combinations!

I am quite satisfied with the result... :)

Post by: Westfalia Chris on 05 June 2007, 08:43:58 PM: Excellent paintjob. But I have a personal beef with the non-armoured GW plastic multiparts - the shoulder torso-arm-joints look so poor...

But he looks very piratey. Is that a catachan head?

Now to paint them... :roll: I'll never get it done! Too many projects, and too little teutonic efficiency...

Excellent !

Mine too! Although, my Captain is the Sartosan Captain. Who is AWESOME.

In fact, it is the same sprue... After Mordheim, the reused the sprues with boxes and voila! Empire militia.

Anyway, they're nice minis, and the one painted is one of the finest I know.

I love that pose, and the painting is brilliant - especially the shading on the skin. Outstanding!

Whatever other faults they may have, G.W. did a fine job with their Empire Militia & quite a few other similar sets. I have, however, stopped thinking of the sets as complete models, & started viewing them as collections of component parts.
